The Sailors Reading Room.

The seamen's reading room is now open at
St Bay street, and it is hoped that masters
of vessels, and others concerned in the well
fare of seamen, will encourage those visiting
this port to avail themselves of this place of
recreation and rest. Any friends of the Sa-
vannah Port Society having spare papers can
make good use of them by donating them
to the SeaInens Reading Rooms. Members
of the society are earnestly invited to visit
the rooms.
Services viii be held regularly on SUNDAYS
at 1880 o'clock, and all Christian workers are
invited to attend and participate in the exer-
cises. Let the people of Savannah, gener-
ally, do all in their power to help advance
the spiritual interests of this class of men
who play such an important part in the
commercial interests of our country.

JUDGE WALTER T. CoLoUITT.
How He Astonished an English Trav-
eler by His Versatility and Power.
Fronl the HaInltoIt journal

eler by His Versatility and Power.
From the Hamilton Journal
Judge Colquitt was a young man of won
; derful versatile talent He was a superior
and profound lawyer, a popular and unsur-
passed stump orator and a very eloquent
and instructive preacher. One one occasion
an English noblemsn was travelling through
this country and made some stay in Column
bus. Superior Court was in session and
the Enghshman was curious to see how our
courts were conducted, 50 he went to the
court house. A murder trial was in prog
ress, and Judge Colquitt was, as usual, in
the defense. He made the concluding
speech, and for two hours he thrilled the
court, jurors and spectators with his burn
ing eloquence. The Englishman was
charmed, and had many questions to ask
about the eloquent orator, and sought his
acquaintance.
On next day the Englshman learned that
there was TO be a political meeting that
night at Temperance Hall. Being curious
to know something of the political methods
in America he decided to attend. The
meeting was organized by chairman and
secretary, and Judge Colquitt was called
for speech. He assembled the platform
with grace peculiar to himself and enter
tanned the large audience both by argument
and anecdote, and all were much interested
and often convulsed with laughter Poll
tics was the Judges great forte, and gave
him his fame in the United States Senate
On the succeeding Sabbath the English
man attended services at the Methodist
church, and as the regular pastor was absent
at conference, Judge Colquitt filed the pull
pit His text was: What is Truthn' and
language fails to convey any adequate idea
of that sermon. The Englishman was pro-
foundry astonished, and exclaimed to a
friend: Are the Americans all lawyers, all
politicians and all preaohersl If that man
was in England, we would make him Lord
Chancellor"

seem determined in their stand, and they
say that as soon as a bale comes over the
side of the ship that it will go back again.

the Dexter, Mo-, Enterprise fol
criminal libel. The libelous article
was in effect that the opposition OF
the Republican to certain railroad
schemes was caused by the refusal OF
the railroads to contribute money to
the Republican, and that Mr.. O'NeiI
had called upon General Manager
Clark of the Gould system and offer.
ed the support of the Republican to
the railroads if they would pay him
s12O,000, all of which MIR. ONeiI
says is absolutely false and libelous,
